Pheasant

"So from then on, the bigwings takes care of all the others. Some of them can be pretty bossy or too weak, but we got a good one. I mean, you would have been a good one too, I'm sure..."

— Pheasant to Clay, The Dragonet Prophecy

Template:Charbox Pheasant is a female MudWing and one of the six siblings of Clay, as well as the third-hatched dragonet of Cattail, and Asha's niece. Her father is still unknown, although he is known to be deceased. She never attended Jade Mountain Academy, although some of her siblings, Sora, Umber, and Marsh, did. Marsh is the only one of the three who remained at the academy following the events of the second arc. Instead of attending the school, Pheasant stayed in the Mud Kingdom with her brother Reed.

Appearance

She has dark brown scales on her back and lighter brown scales on her stomach and sides. She is also described to have light brown eyes.

Biography

Pre-Series

Pheasant hatched along with Reed, Sora, Marsh, Crane, and Umber. She was raised with Reed, who was filling in as bigwings due to Clay's absence, as his egg was sold by Cattail to the Talons of Peace for at least two cows in order to fulfill the Dragonet Prophecy.

The Dragonet Prophecy

Clay meeting his siblings

Near the end of the book, Clay made his way back to the Mud Kingdom. His siblings encountered him and were overjoyed to find him. They helped him make peace with himself about attacking the other dragonets' eggs, and, despite their protests, unwillingly let him go. Pheasant stated that maybe Clay was their bigwings, which he biologically is.

The Dark Secret

In the prologue, the IceWings attack, and she comes to Sora's rescue. The troop escapes, and Pheasant said she had gained interest in and started to read about the prophecy after they found out Clay was part of it, being the "wings of the earth". In the end, she hoped that Clay would end the war soon.

Trivia

• Even though Pheasant has light brown eyes in the books, her image in the graphic novel has butter-colored eyes.
• Pheasant might still be mourning the loss of Crane, as MudWing siblings form a close bond with each other.
• Even though Umber stated in Moon Rising that Sora was the only one in the troop who'd practiced their reading, Pheasant was shown to know how to read in The Dark Secret.
